Bibliography of Scottish Literature
Scottish Literature since 1945 (Poetry)
Introductory Reading
For the twentieth century overall, but particularly for the modern period, Robert Crawford's very comprehensive bibliography, Literature in Twentieth-Century Scotland (London: British Council, 1995) is probably the most inclusive and helpful single guide to reference works, anthologies, poetry, prose, and drama, and will supplement the introductory listings given below.
The following recommendations for further reading are frequently similar to those given in the introduction to reading for Section Five, with the same general histories and main critical and historical texts, especially Cairns Craig's edition of The History of Scottish Literature Volume IV, Twentieth Century (Aberdeen: Aberdeen University Press, 1987), Marshall Walker's Scottish Literature since 1707 (London: Longman, 1988) and Gifford and McMillan's A History of Scottish Women's Writing (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1997). The major anthologies of poetry (often with very substantial introductions) include those cited in Further General Reading such as Crawford and Imlah, Dunn, Kerrigan, and Watson. Scottish poets are put in wider contexts in the stimulating The Penguin Book of Contemporary British Poetry, edited by Blake Morrison and Andrew Motion (Harmondsworth: Penguin. 1982).
Daniel O'Rourke's collection Dream State: The New Scottish Poets (Edinburgh: Polygon, 1994; new edition, 2001) presents some of the most interesting new voices. The first in-depth study of Scots poetry from Stevenson to the present and from a linguistic perspective is J. Derrick McClure's Language, Poetry and Nationhood (East Linton: Tuckwell Press, 2000). Robin Fulton's Contemporary Scottish Poetry: Individuals and Contexts (Loanhead: Macdonald, 1974) is still very useful, and Colin Nicholson's Poem, Purpose and Place: Shaping Identity in Contemporary Scottish Verse (Edinburgh: Polygon, 1992) provides fourteen interviews with poets from Sorley MacLean to Ron Butlin and Liz Lochhead. Seven Poets, edited by Christopher Carrell (Glasgow: Third Eye Centre, 1981), has discussions of major Scottish poets from writers like Neal Ascherson with interviews by Marshall Walker. Gillian Somerville-Arjat and Rebecca Wilson provide similar help in Sleeping with Monsters: Conversations with Scottish and Irish Women Poets (Dublin: Wolfhound, 1990) and, straddling poetry and fiction, Bob Tait and Isobel Murray's Scottish Writers Talking (East Linton: Tuckwell Press, 1996), with the poets interviewed being MacCaig and Mackay Brown, and the novelists Kesson, McIlvanney and Toulmin. Particularly useful for recent writing is Alieen Christianson and Alison Lumsden's Contemporary Scottish Women Writers (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 2000). A recent valuable collection of essays is edited by Tomas Monterrey in Contemporary Scottish Literature 1970-2000 (Revista Canaria de Estudios Ingleses) (Servicio de Publicaciones: Universidad de la Laguna, 2000).
In fiction, the Scottish Arts Council annually published a collection of Scottish Short Stories via publisher William/Harper Collins from 1973 to 1997 entitled New Scottish Writing (London: Flamingo, 1997). A survey of the volumes of these twenty-five years reveals some of the best of Scottish short story writing. An up-to-date introductory anthology of short stories and substantial excerpts from novels is The Picador book of Contemporary Fiction, edited by Peter Kravitz (London: Picador, 1997). Other useful anthologies of poetry and prose include the major anthologies of short stories from Dunn and MacDougall (previously listed); And Thus Will I Freely Sing: an Anthology of Gay and Lesbian Writing From Scotland, edited by Toni Davidson (Edinburgh: Polygon, 1989); Behind the Lines: An Anthology of New Scottish Poetry and Prose (Glasgow: Third Eye Centre, 1989), and Undercover: An Anthology of Contemporary Scottish Writers (Edinburgh: Mainstream, 1993) edited by Colin E. Nicholson and Jane Ogden Smith. For the most recent prose and poetry, readers should consult annual volumes of New Writing Scotland, published by the Association for Scottish Literary Studies. In critical work, Manfred Malzahn's The Contemporary Scottish Novel 1978-81 (Frankfurt: Peter Lang, 1984) focuses on fiction of the period as national self-expression; Cairns Craig's The Modern Scottish Novel; Narrative and the National Imagination (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1999) is a stimulating attempt to identify the main characteristics of contemporary writers. From 1975 to 1999 Books in Scotland (Edinburgh: Ramsay Head Press) carried quarterly very extensive and comprehensive reviews of current fiction; its successor, In Scotland, continues to do so.
Those interested in the use of varieties of Scots language and language issues in literature will find, in addition to McLure's Language, Poetry and Nationhood, John Corbett's Language and Scottish Literature (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1997) essential reading, with much of its content especially relevant to the stylistics of contemporary Scottish writing of all kinds. The same author's Written in the Language of the Scottish Nation (Multilingual Matters Ltd., 1999) is a history of Scottish Literature in translation.
For teachers of literature especially, Teaching Scottish Literature: Curriculum and Classroom Applications, edited by Alan MacGillivray (Edinburgh: Edinburgh University Press, 1997), will prove invaluable in its discussions of the place of Scottish literature in English courses, new theoretical approaches, varieties of language in use, and topics such as running workshops on contemporary writers.
Given the different style of coverage in the chapters of this section, whereby the three major genres of poetry, drama and fiction are treated in a more general discussion than previously, the lists below are grouped similarly under poetry, drama, and fiction. With the very high number of writers mentioned in this part, it is only possible to give substantial listings and a modicum of critical help for the most prominent. For those not listed here the reader is referred to the critical discussions listed in the introduction to this section and to the electronic databases mentioned at the start of this section.
